by Michael Poss 06 Nov '19

06 Nov '19

The *Open Journal of Mathematical Optimization* ( https://ojmo.centre-mersenne.org) is calling for papers. This newly established scholarly journal, provided on a Fair Open Access basis – without cost to both readers and authors, see below – welcomes original and high-quality articles dealing with every aspect of mathematical optimization, ranging from numerical and computational aspects to theoretical questions related to mathematical optimization problems. The topics covered by the journal are classified into four areas: * Continuous Optimization * Discrete Optimization * Optimization under Uncertainty * Computational aspects and applications The journal welcomes regular papers (no page limit) and short notes (no more than 8 pages). While the editorial board will guarantee a first answer within 3 months for the short papers, both types of papers will be refereed with the same (high) standards and need to follow rigorously the journal template upon submission, available at https://ojmo.centre-mersenne.org/page/instructions/ The steering committee of the journal consists of * Dimitris Bertsimas (MIT, USA) * Martine Labbé (ULB, Belgium) * Eva K. Lee (Georgia Tech, USA) * Marc Teboulle (Tel-Aviv University, Israel) The full list of editorial board members can be found under https://ojmo.centre-mersenne.org/page/editorial-team_en/ As a Fair Open Access journal, * it is owned and controlled by the scholarly community independent of commercial publishers, * authors retain copyright of their works, which are published under a standard open access license as outlined in the editorial policy.

[Deadline Extension] CFP: Special session, Applications of Bio-Inspired Techniques on Social Networks, at EvoStar 2020
by Giovanni Iacca 05 Nov '19

05 Nov '19

Dear all, Due to a large number of requests for late submissions, the EvoStar submission websites will stay open until *Friday, November 15*! Authors who have already submitted, can update their work until this time. Best regards, Giovanni ---- *Overview* If you have an interest in *social networks and bio-inspired soft computing*, join us at a special session <http://www.evostar.org/2020/evoapps/biosocnet/> dedicated to social networks at EvoStar 2020 <http://www.evostar.org/2020/>, the main European event on bio‑inspired computation. Social networks are simple models used to describe complex phenomena that emerge in various fields such as social sciences, digital communication platforms, economics, business, international relations, environmental sciences, and medicine. For example, social networks are used to model social interactions on web platforms such as Facebook or Twitter, the spreading of contagious illnesses, news and information, the mutual influence between voters during an electoral campaign, the adoption of new goods on the market, the correlation between purchases on e-commerce platforms, or the interaction between agents, bots and humans. In this special session we seek contributions where original soft computing techniques, for instance new bio-inspired or physics-inspired metaheuristics, are applied to solve specific social network problems or to define new social network models. Real-world experimental studies, as well as presentations of new datasets, or algorithmic studies on novel techniques tested on publicly available datasets and scalability studies are especially welcome. We also encourage contributions from the Operational Research and Complex Networks/Statistical Physics perspectives based on bio- inspired or physics-inspired principles. *Topics and applications of interest* include, but are not limited to: - Influence maximization - Vaccination optimization - Virus diffusion control - Sentinel optimal placement for event detection - Community detection - Network clustering - Models of influence spread - Models of network dynamics *Chairs*: Giovanni Iacca, University of Trento, Italy Doina Bucur, University of Twente, The Netherlands *Important Dates*: Submission deadline: 15 November 2019 *Publication*: Accepted papers will appear in the proceedings of EvoApplications, published in a volume of the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science. Submission details can be found at: http://www.evostar.org/2020/?page_id=80 . -- Giovanni Iacca, Ph.D. Assistant Professor (RTD-b) Department of Information Engineering and Computer Science University of Trento Via Sommarive 9 - 38123 Povo - Trento (Italy) ph. +39 0461 28 5220 / +39 389 80 88 796 web: https://sites.google.com/site/giovanniiacca

by Sebastian Tschuppik 10 May '19

10 May '19

The Friedrich-Alexander University invites applications for a doctoral position within the ITN MINOA (“Mixed-Integer Non-Linear Optimisation Applications”) A position as a doctoral researcher is available at the Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg (FAU), Germany, chair “Wirtschaftsmathematik”, within the Marie Curie ITN MINOA. You will be supervised by Frauke Liers (FAU) and by Martin Schmidt (Trier University). We are seeking highly motivated and qualified early-stage researchers (ESRs) that are looking for obtaining a doctoral degree in mathematics. You will be trained through an innovative training program based on your individual research project in exact optimisation approaches for energy market design. The hosting group: The optimisation group at FAU has key expertise in modeling and solving complex and very large-scale planning and optimisation problems from logistics, energy, production, engineering, and the natural sciences. The chair “Wirtschaftsmathematik” currently consists of two professors, 3 postdocs and about 20 PhD students. Each year about three PhD students finish their thesis. The group participates in many projects funded by the DFG, the BMBF, or the BMWi, e.g., with the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and German Railways. In particular, the group collaborates in the Collaborative Research Center TRR 154 “Mathematical Modelling, Simulation and Optimisation Using the Example of Gas Networks“. You will be part of the MINOA network. The latter consists of eleven academic partners institutions and six industrial partners from six different countries in Europe. Who can apply? You are eligible to apply for a position within the MINOA network, if - you hold a M.Sc. degree by the starting date of the fellowship, in one of the following areas: Mathematics, Computer Science, or in a closely related field; - you have not resided or carried out your main activity (work, studies, etc.) in Germany for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately prior to your recruitment; - at the time of recruitment, you are in the first four years (full-time equivalent research experience) of your research career (after having obtained your M.Sc. degree) and have not been awarded a doctoral degree; - you are proficient in the English language. What can you expect from a position in the MINOA ITN? Once recruited, we will offer - the possibility to work with us in a prestigious Horizon 2020 project; - a full-time contract for 36 months; - planned internships (secondments): IBM France (Pierre Bonami, 3 months) Trier University (Martin Schmidt, 2 months) - participation in local events as well as in network-wide summer schools with internationally well-known teachers. This furthermore offers the possibility to get to know other Phd students from all over the world. How can you apply? You will need to provide us with the following documents: a) Letter of motivation (max. 1 page) b) Copies of degree and academic transcripts (with grades and rankings) c) Brief summary of Master's thesis (max. 1 page) d) Short CV including a publication list (if any) All the above-mentioned documents should be sent to edom-office(a)fau.de
